The year of the locust.

After many, many years of waiting, the sequel to I am pilgrim by Terry Hayes has today been released.
I found the first book a cracking spy thriller which was well received by critics and readers alike.
I have just downloaded it ready for a long drive next week and am looking forward to listening.

I’m 30-odd chapters in. Bit disappointing so far.

I'm doing it on Audible and am about 2 hours in, so far I'd call it underwhelming. This morning I'm about to set off on a four hour drive so hopefully it improves.

7 hours left.
Given up.
What a disappointment. I've started I am Pilgrim again to make up.
What on earth was the bloke thinking of when he came up with the final third and his editor wants flogging.

Preordered with a 7 year wait and I've still not bothered opening the bag it was delivered in. Considering how good pilgrim was I'm not going to waste my time with locust.

Wise choice.
It was seeing this thread come back to life reminded me it even existed.
